Cytochrome c oxidase.
Within the past year, the structures of the cytochrome c oxidase from the soil bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans and of the metal centers of the cytochrome c oxidase from bovine heart mitochondria, both determined at 2.8 A resolution by X-ray crystallography, have been reported. The structures form a basis for understanding the mechanism of this redox-coupled transmembrane proton pump, which i...
متن کاملThe Cytochrome C-cytochrome Oxidase Complex
In the preceding paper the oxidation of substrates by “indophenol oxidase” was demonstrated to be a joint action of cytochrome and cytochrome oxidase. It was further shown that with a given amount of oxidase the velocity of hydroquinone oxidation reached a maximum as the amount of added cytochrome was increased. The latter fact immediately suggested the probability that the rapid aerobic oxidat...
متن کاملThe cytochrome c binding site on cytochrome c oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondria respiratory chain catalysing electron transfer from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen [ 1,2]. The molecular mechanism of this process is still not understood. At present, little is known about such important structural features as the position of the prosthetic groups or the location and characteristics of the cytochrom...
متن کاملProtonmotive cooperativity in cytochrome c oxidase.
Cooperative linkage of solute binding at separate binding sites in allosteric proteins is an important functional attribute of soluble and membrane bound hemoproteins. Analysis of proton/electron coupling at the four redox centers, i.e. Cu(A), heme a, heme a(3) and Cu(B), in the purified bovine cytochrome c oxidase in the unliganded, CO-liganded and CN-liganded states is presented. These studie...
متن کاملCytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency in Childhood
Mitochondria participate in a number of metabolic pathways, in the cell growth, aging process and cell death/ apoptosis but their principal biological function is energy production. More than 90% of ATP is produced by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. OXPHOS is composed of four multiprotein respiratory chain complexes, ATP synthase and two electron carriers...
